This curriculum is designed for students who are not yet familiar with the alphabet and its sounds. Your child will learn to: • Recognize and produce rhyming words. • Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words. • Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words. • Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words. • Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels. The students will be exposed to every letter of the alphabet in this four-week class. Parents will need to practice with their students for fifteen to twenty minutes each day to help with memorizing the letters. I will give you resources to practice the letters at home. These are high-quality printable resources that could be printed on cardstock and laminated for durability and longevity. This is a great add-on class that pairs very well with my Exploring Literacy Part 1.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I have been an educator for fifteen years. I graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University with a Bachelors of Science. I have also graduated from the University of Medicine and Health Sciences with my Medical Doctorate. A few years ago, I began a Masters in Education with a focus on curriculum development and on the online flipped classrooms. I also have an interest in film. Many of my classes will be enriched with digital enhancements. I use a program that allows for complete interactivity. I will use interactive responses and slides that the students can manipulate from their computer. It will allow every student to have a voice in the class. We will look at the answers as a class and discuss again.
I have five children whom I homeschooled in their early elementary years. I taught many classes through our various co-ops. My approach to teaching and learning makes the subject interesting through my excitement. I employ a variety of methods to reach every style of learner. I believe in mastery before moving on. I will offer any extra material that I can to help your child in that direction.
I have courses in core grammar, reading, and literature/unit studies. I also offer courses in science and health. I have a one time lecture for students who have a desire to be a physician. I would love to have your child. I went to medical school without any guidance. It is my strong desire to get out the information that I have learned so that other students have a "leg up".
Please send me any request and I am happy to do that.
I hope to see your child in my class. Thank you so much for selecting me to teach your child.
